I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I know how the world feels about The Wire. But honestly, the pilot of Treme is LEAGUES better than the pilot of The Wire.tragabigzanda wrote:someday...durdencommatyler wrote:Started Treme.

Treme definitely had a similar ”no exposition" approach but it's more character driven and less procedural so it works much better. Also there acting is outstanding. Wendell Pierce is a national treasure.tragabigzanda wrote:i'd believe it. The Wire pilot made me feel extremely lost. It dumped you into the middle of a granular procedural with a lot of super important dialogue, and virtually no exposition. Took several episodes to really get my bearings.durdencommatyler wrote:I know how the world feels about The Wire.

Doesn't mean it's a better show overall. But I was really surprised.
It's worth sticking it out for a few more episodes. There's definitely a dated/stark feel to those early eps, but the you'll be thankful you stuck it out.VinylGuy wrote:I only saw the pilot of The Wire and kinda hated it.
